Art Spiegelman is remembered in art for work that changed what came after it.
The record lists Art Spiegelman as American cartoonist and writer (born 1948).
Art Spiegelman was born at Stockholm in 1948. His recorded nationality is the United States. He was educated at High School of Art and Design and Binghamton University.
The twentieth century made work collective, expensive and political, with consequences that reached well beyond the people doing it.
He worked as comics artist, editor and illustrator.
His affiliations include School of Visual Arts.
His name is attached above all to graphic novel Maus. Art history is a record of what got kept, which is not the same as what was best.
The surviving body of work includes Maus, In the Shadow of No Towers and Raw.
Recognition followed: Pulitzer Prize Special Citations and Awards (1992).
Working from the United States shaped what was possible - the audiences within reach, the institutions that would have him, the language the work first appeared in.
Art Spiegelman is still at work, and the final assessment has not been made - the ordinary condition of a living career.
